Overview
The KoolMore KM-RUF-21S is a 21 cu ft upright appliance that switches between refrigerator and freezer mode with a button, built for garages, outdoor kitchens or as overflow storage for a household kitchen fridge.
Rather than being simply a fridge or a freezer, this is designed to be swapped between the two depending on the season or the household's current need, backed by four cold settings and an electronic control panel. Most owners who bought it for garage or outdoor kitchen use report it performs reliably even in cold climates, though at least one commercial buyer had a unit that never held temperature consistently.
- 21 cu ft convertible fridge or freezer in one cabinet
- Four adjustable shelves plus two clear drawers
- Four cold settings with quick-swap mode button
- Adjustable legs and 2 rear rolling wheels
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Home reviewers describe the unit as well made, quiet and tightly sealed, with several noting it performed reliably even placed in a cold garage through winter. Praised features include the digital temperature readout, bright interior lighting and stainless finish. One reviewer bought two units for a diner and found one worked well while the other never held temperature consistently, and struggled to find a local technician willing to repair it since it isn't classified as commercial equipment.
